Unfortunately I forgot to test AFR mode with the 12.11's. I understand right now there is no CFX profile for absolution (please correct me if I'm wrong), but it's clear that for 6000 series owners, 12.10 is the better driver out of the two tested.

I ask because I'm on Windows 8 64, 12.11 Beta8 and 12.11 CAP1 and it does not have a profile. The only way I can get CFX to work is if I enable the "enable crossfire for applications that don't have a profile" setting.

This works, but it's stuttery so not ideal at all.

Am I the only one? Is there actually a profile?

can u teach me how to specify this setting? cuz CF for me seems to be not running that great for this game

I dunno if this game got CF profile, but for what I see, it does pretty well in CF, GPU usage is around 80-90 % on both cards and performances are great with no stuttering, using default cfx settings. (see my MSI afterburner screenshot)

@jackliu913: in catalyst control centre, enable this. This makes Hitman perform better, but not without problems (mainly jerkiness). I wonder if Alpin has that enabled by default?

Alpin_fresh: please can you test something for me. Make sure you've DISABLED the above feature, and enable the CrossFire logo (see screenshot). Then run Hitman. If it has a profile, you'll see the crossfire logo in the top-right corner of your screen.

I reinstall Windows 8 yesterday (not because of this issue but because there was a lot of crap from the previous Windows 7 install I wanted to get rid of). I installed Windows 8 fresh, installed 12.11 Beta 8 and 12.11 CAP1 and the issue remains exactly the same, no CFX with Hitman.

It's very annoying, because, with the "enable crossfire for applications that don't have a profile" option on, the game performance doubles (60 FPS Ultra 2560x1600 vsync). Without this option, it's 30. The problem is, however, is that the game stutters so clearly it's a suboptimal vsync.

I think I'll get on with some other games (AC3, BLOPS2) and so on, hopefully by then AMD would sort this out.
